Some skimmers have a diverter valve in the bottom of the skimmer. This valve can be turned to regulate skimming and
main drain suction. Turning the valve from full skim to main drain suction will adjust the reading on the flow gauge.
Usually this valve has the same male connection as the Hayward Blu hose end and it is therefore necessary to purchase
a (V098) hose adapter to make this connection (See Figure 7). After the proper flow gauge reading has been established,
the diverter valve should be marked if possible to identify the proper setting for optimal cleaner performance.
2. Periodically check the vacuum/water flow to be sure that the Hayward Blu is operating as efficiently as possible.
Remember, too much vacuum will cause premature wear of you new cleaner.
3. Periodically check to make sure that the Hayward Blu hose is securely attached to its suction source (i.e. skimmer, vac
lock wall fitting, skimmer vacuum plate, etc.)
4. Disconnect the Hayward Blu hose from the regulator valve in the skimmer prior to backwashing.
5. Never coil the Hayward Blu hose. Coiled hose is not covered under the warranty.
6. When the Hayward Blu is out of the pool, always disconnect the leader hose from the Hayward Blu head.
7. Always carry Hayward Blu by the molded-in handle.
8. When swimming in the pool, remove Hayward Blu from the water.
9. When super chlorinating or shocking your pool, make sure the cleaner and its hose are removed prior to doing so.
